Last Sunday brought one of the most memorable games in the history of Italian Lega A. If it was in a negative or positive sense, it depends on the side. NSB Napoli managed to score just 37 points and allowed 138 from Roma, a 101-point difference which became the biggest one ever since 1973, when Milano beat Varese 117 to 44. In the previous round they were also beaten hard by Biella (54-124).
The score is easy to explain: Napoli played mostly with U19 players, as most of its stars and senior players left given the financial crisis it is going through. The team (not to be confused with the historical Napoli from previous seaons) moved from Rieti to Napoli this season in an attempt to gather more support and sponsors, but failed to do so. President Gaetano Papalia will meet with the Italian Federation representatives this week to discuss the situation.
UPDATE: Napoli lost to Benetton Treviso 169-29 and set a new record.
